Title: headlamp plastic
Post by: frostpinfold on January 16, 2024, 22:13:27

Does anyone know if the plastic mouldings for USA headlamps are sold by anyone. I have searched the internet without success.

These are referred to as headlight "doors". 

A Google search for "w113 headlight door" turned up used ones, repos, and and at least one (outrageously priced, IMO) NOS one.

They may also be available from folks in our vendor list like Authentic Classics or SLS.

This depends on wether you're looking for AJ, AN, or AC. 250SL has not been available for many year but I have one that looks very good that I would sell.

Rob (frostpinfold),

Benz Dr has a great point.  Are you familiar with the AJ, AN, AC styles?  Google "AJ AN AC site:sl113.org" for info.

The clear plastic molded piece is carried by Vintage Euro Parts.  Ask for Nelson.  I believe they also have a YouTube video showing how to fit it.  They have it for all the variations: AC, AN & AJ.  Around $185 /piece.
